I have been using the NHAI fastag at the Attibele (Bangalore-hosur) toll and the Bangalore-Electronic city Elevated tollway. however, the fastag lane seems to be slower than any other lane, as the toll staff are accepting cash and are entertaining non-fastag vehicles in a fastag lane. The security personnel manning the fastag lane seems to be allowing other vehicles of his choice. This is very surprising as other lanes work much quicker than the fastag lane. As per the attachment (in yellow marking on 24th & 25th Nov) at the Bangalore Attibele toll, it took me 30 minutes to use a fastag lane, when it was done in 10 minutes for other lanes.
The fastag and the tollboths seem to be a failure to me. NHAI tollboths are an environmental disaster, as they are filled with public nuisance, pollution and vehicles blocking the way. even for an ordinary person walking on the road is difficult near an NHAI tollboth. In such an event, it would be better to stop collecting toll all-together.
